30th Anniversary Mass
St. Thomas More Catholic High School
On August 15, 1983 St. Thomas More Catholic
High School opened the doors for its first mass
with Bishop Gerard Frey serving as the celebrant.
Thirty years later, on the exact same day, we
celebrated our first school mass of 2012-2013
with our Chancellor, Fr. Louie Richard as the
celebrant. Many things have changed over the
years, and some have remained the same. Some
of the things that have not changed are the five
teachers that started in 1983 and are still here
30 years later. Those five teachers are Danny
Broussard, Belinda Edwards, Cinde Sulik, Terry
Tidwell, and Doug Taylor. These five were asked
by Fr. Louie to come up with some highlights
that he could use in his sermon and here are their
responses.
• There was plenty of holy water to go around
at that first mass. The only problem was that it
was leaking from the roof!
• Ambassador Caffery was a two lane road
named New Flanders Road and the only
buildings past the bridge were Women’s &
Children’s Hospital and STM.
• The nearest eating establishment on
Ambassador Caffery was a Burger King
near Bennigan’s, so most teachers ate in the
cafeteria or brought a lunch.
• When the bridge was up, which was quite often
• In 1986, due to dwindling enrollment (585
students), teachers took a pay cut and rumors
were flying that STM would close its doors the
following year.
• In 1996, we purchased the 20 acres of
property adjacent to the school.
• In 1998, the second gym and the 800 wing
were built to accommodate STM’s growing
enrollment. The first home game was played
in Cougar Stadium.
• One year we played our home football games
at Vermilion Catholic, New Iberia Sr. High,
and Comeaux High because Clark Field was
not available.
• Another year, we played our homecoming
game at Beau Chene High School because it
was the closest field available.
• Margo Comeaux, Judy Domingue, Tina Moss,
Rita McGrath and Brother Ephrem Hebert,
STM faculty members, passed away during
their tenure here.
• In 1988, STM was selected for the third time
as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.
• Coach Doug Taylor still does not have a cell
phone!
– continued on page 6
back then, you
had to re-route
through Milton
to get to STM.
• In 1983, Fr.
Richard Greene
said in one of
his sermons
that STM
would be the
“epicenter of
Lafayette, “ and
the audience
laughed.
• Mrs. Stephanie
Stevenson ’83,
current STM
math teacher,
was selected as
the first STM
Homecoming
Queen.

ALUMNI FEATURE
St. Thomas More’s very own MacKenzie
Bourg ’11 hit the stage on September 11,
2012. That stage was in front of millions
of viewers during primetime television
on NBC’s The Voice. As a contestant
showcasing his amazing talent, he put his
own creative spin on a pop song and the
studio crowd rose to their feet in applause.
Halfway through his song, Celo ‘hit the
red button’ and selected MacKenzie to his
team. This meant MacKenzie moves on in
the nationally televised contest.
Meanwhile, most of Lafayette and south
Louisiana was watching and cheering as
we witnessed the humble former studentathlete and campus minister belt out his
rendition of ‘Pumped Up Kicks’. NBC’s
shots of MacKenzie’s family clapping and
laughing reminded us all of the wonderful
culture of friendship and family we share
in south Louisiana.
The following day, MacKenzie returned
to the halls of STM to say hello and to
give back. And herein lies the story, that
the rest of the world has yet to hear, but
that those of us back home were blessed
to experience. MacKenzie’s first public
appearance following the national airing
of his audition was for STM Campus
Ministry’s 8th Grade Retreat put on for
Cathedral Carmel. MacKenzie agreed,
on a spontaneous request from Coach
Strother, to share his deeper testimony
of how he fought through his illness
and made it to this point of his music
career. Before coming up on stage at
the retreat, Coach Strother asked the 8th
MacKenzie Bourg ’11 Appears on ‘The Voice’
graders if they watched ‘The Voice’ the
night before. Nearly everyone raised their
hands. Then he asked, “How many of you
saw MacKenzie Bourg’s performance and
heard his story?” Again, almost everyone,
with a gleaming smile, raised their hands.
Finally, Coach Strother said, “How neat
would it be if he came here today to share
his heart and voice with you…”. At this
point, MacKenzie took the stage and the
students couldn’t believe he was actually
there with them just 15 hours after his
appearance on national television.
With the crowd’s attention and eager
ears, MacKenzie impressed every heart as
he testified to the power of God and his
faith. MacKenzie emphasized that God
can take us through anything and that
we need Him in our life. He followed this
beautiful sharing with his personalized
version of ‘Amazing Grace’ as students
listened and reflected on his words and
song.
This flourishing artist and STM
graduate continued to give back to his
school. He returned to STM the same
night and joined the STM Campus
Ministry Praise Band for the kickoff Light
Night.
Our STM community is so proud of
MacKenzie Bourg. He is a gifted musician
and even more impressively, an awesome
young man of God. His faith shines bright
and his heart returns him to his home to
share the joy of God’s blessings in his life.
Good luck and God bless the rest of your
journey, MacKenzie. We will be cheering
you on as you chase your dream and share
your ‘Heart’ with the world.

Mr. Toby Beaugh
Ms. Nicole Bourgeois
Mr. Bryce Harkrider
It took 30 years to happen but on October 1, the first STM
alumni luncheon took place in the Cougar Den on the campus
of St. Thomas More Catholic High School. Over 50 alumni
ranging from the class of 1983 to 2003 gathered for a luncheon
to discuss a broad range of topics including homecoming
activities, alumni events, and the 2012 Annual Appeal. The
focus, however, was on revitalizing an Alumni Association.
Class of 1995
Mr. Benedict Blanco
Mr. Wesley Whipp
Ms. Laurie Ready
Based on our initial meeting, the consensus was that we
appoint a board immediately for this year. This appointed board
will work on issues such as by-laws, constitution, alumni events,
etc. Next year we will be able to start with a full head of steam
and elect an Alumni Association Board for 2013-14.

We also discussed hosting four networking luncheons per
year planned in September, December (most are home for
Christmas visiting parents, so this might be great for out
of town alum), March, and July. It was suggested that the
December luncheon be held during the Sunkist Shootout,
which is usually the day after Christmas. The March and July
events would be held off campus in the evening to allow more
participation. Thanks to Amy Jones ’92, who volunteered to host
a crawfish boil for us at her office on the Vermilion River.
We have identified several areas of concentration and
formed the following committees. Please consider serving on

AlumNI Memorial Endowment Funds
A memorial gift is a lasting tribute of love and appreciation. It perpetuates the memory of someone you love and
expresses sympathy to a friend or relative. If you would like to make a gift to one of the alumni memorial endowed funds,

caring nature, and is always a cheerful example to other students.

stadium. He was very tenderhearted, funny, and very loyal, a perfect
gentleman and the perfect friend, someone to be emulated. This
gift will be presented to a student, who displays some of Jacob’s
unique qualities – first and foremost, love for God, kindness,
leadership, humor, love for family and friends, and humility.
